What do guys charge in your area for a mobile repair truck to come out??? I believe NCWAYNE does this or something similar? One out fit charged like $110 per hour plus $2.75 per mile travel!!!! I have also seen some guys charge $35 per hour.
 
Shop rate plus mileage. Around here its $85 an hour from the time they leave the shop, plus $2.25/ mile.
 
Here in Virginia . $65 per hour in the shop.
$75 per hour out in the field from time I leave the shop till I return.
 
I had a service truck for welding when I had my shop, I was at $60.00/hr from shop door to shop door then. No milage tho. But with higher prices today I would need to be higher to stay in business. If that service truck is a mechanic's truck with a lot of expensive tools that is a reasonable price. The $35.00/hr guys aren't covering their wages to say nothing of the truck and equipment.
 
When I was on the road. It was 100.00 an hour,2.00 a mile. If you were called out at night or weekends it was an automatic four hour charge.
 
E SD it cost me $375 to get a guy to give codes from the computer on my semi. 30 mile drive to get here. I did the rest after he told me the fault. Took him less than 10 minutes and he was the cheaper of two.
 
Before the bottom fell out Dad and I were getting $84 an hour for the majority of work, and $100 for line boring. With the economy so bad I dropped way back for a year or two. If I hadn't done that, I'd have been out of business, along with most of my customers who couldn't have afforded for me to work for them. I kept my rates down a little while, but went back to $65 an hour two years ago. As of June 1 I'm going up to $70 an hour for any new jobs taken on, that aren't already in the lineup. My time starts the minute I leave home, and doesn't stop until I either get to a motel, or back home for the evening. Mileage wise, I'm charging $1.50 a mile, again from the time I leave until I get home.

I've been told I could/should charge more given all the things I do, and to be honest I could probably jump back to $84 and hour, or more. Thing is I am making a decent living, and by treating my customers right, and not gouging them, I've got enough loyal customers to keep me backlogged in work. Too, by treating everybody right, I don't have to worry about advertising, and the word of mouth advertising from those customers seems to bring me at least one new customer every month or two.
